This one's got me a little stumped, Michiel.....so help me if you will.

This plane appears to be a 767....777.....a big Boeing twin engine. On those planes the landing gear are inboard of the engines. So.....why isn't the landing gear distorted by the heat as the background is?

It is in fact an Airbus A330. Very good question. As you can see from the Etihad Bus, there is quite a bit of distance between the engine and the landing gear. So my guess is that the exhaust gasses are higher than the wheels. And maybe the wing creates an upward suction that bend the gasses up? Maybe someone else has the explanation?
